Joshua Idehen is a British-born Nigerian spoken word artist whose work seamlessly fuses poetry with electronic, jazz, and dance influences, creating music that is both introspective and universally resonant. Over the years, he has collaborated with acclaimed acts including LV, Benin City, and The Comet Is Coming, and contributed to albums such as Your Queen Is a Reptile by Sons of Kemet, building a reputation for inventive, thought-provoking performances across the UK and beyond. His early poetry, honed through open mic nights and the London scene, laid the foundation for a career defined by honesty, depth, and emotional resonance.
In his solo work, Idehen explores resilience, connection, and the human experience, blending spoken word with dynamic, immersive soundscapes. Releases such as the mixtape Learn to Swim and the EP Mum Does the Washing demonstrate his unique ability to marry reflective lyricism with electronic and dance-driven music, inviting audiences to both think and move. Known for captivating live performances and a voice that is simultaneously urgent and uplifting, Idehen continues to engage listeners with art that is deeply personal yet powerfully universal.
